Programs

Morgan County Community of the Arts (MCCA) offers a variety of public programs, educational workshops, and community events to foster creative expression across Morgan County. 

ARCO Strings

ARCO Strings is MCCA’s community string ensemble that brings together local string musicians of varying skill levels to rehearse and perform. The ensemble hosts regular public seasonal concerts, offering local instrumentalists a supportive collaborative environment and enriching Morgan County with live classical and contemporary string music.

Art in the Alley

Art in the Alley is a public art initiative celebrating community creativity across all age groups and skill levels. MCCA provides participants with canvases and painting supplies to create original artwork. Program staff then weather-proofs and mounts the finished pieces along public walkways and building facades in McConnelsville, transforming local alleys into accessible outdoor galleries.

Paint & Sip

MCCA's monthly Paint & Sip workshops offer local adults a relaxed, social environment to explore visual arts. Guided step-by-step by local art instructors, participants complete their own themed canvas paintings while gathering at local community venues. All art supplies are provided, making creative expression fun and accessible regardless of prior artistic experience.

Holiday Windows

Holiday Windows is a seasonal festive art event that connects local artists and community members with downtown business owners. MCCA coordinates the decoration and painting of storefront windows throughout McConnelsville for the holiday season, promoting local talent, encouraging foot traffic to area small businesses, and bringing holiday cheer to the town center.

Beginner's Music Camp

The Beginner's Music Camp is an educational youth program designed to introduce children to fundamental music concepts, rhythm, and instrumental play. Led by experienced instructors, the camp provides an engaging, hands-on opportunity for young community members to explore music, discover new interests, and build foundational creative skills.
